Another day and a different post. Recently, probably owing to some breathing difficulties I tend to wake at about 3 or 4 in the morning. At these times incidents from my early life close in and in great detail.
In the early hours of this morning I was assailed by three characters world widely known. On of them being Cris Brasher, in digs at my friend's mother's house. There was a meeting there I think, Roger Bannister with his nose, Cris Brasher with the horn rimmed spectacles, and Chris Chataway with the blonde quiff, I seem to remember. There again I was only 12. They were the four minute mile pacemakers for the first under 4 minute mile in May 1954. achieved by Roger Bannister.
Why that woke me up last night I have no idea. Was I in the house for the meeting? I will never know.
